It doesent matter. Bach is still a genius, even without this masterpieve. Only leaving the question .. if it is not from Bach, who is thee other genius who wrote this .... and ... are there more masterpieces evventualy somewhere undiscovered in a library or on a dusty attic ?

It seems so simple to play when he does, but the first part (Toccata) isn't that hard. When you look at it, it looks impossible but it tooks me 3 weeks to learn it by myself. And I haven't took any organ course. The Fuga is extremely hard to play, tooks me 7 weeks to learn to play the 2 first pages.

To the "he plays with no feeling" brigade, try closing your eyes when you watch this video and let your ears do the talking ! A more expressive, delicate and emotional piece of music you will be hard pushed to find.Even though his exterior may be calm and composed, inside that brain of his, it's all emotions driving this piece along. Incredible performance.

By: pwargan. on 11 Nov 08, 23:56:16
I absolutely agree. There is a purist movement right now to play all the Baroque music as it would have been played in the Baroque period, and this performance is very much a reflection of that.

By: mike89man89. on 11 Nov 08, 23:37:04
Very well done, however personally I would (and do) play it differently. Its just a difference in musical interpretation. Great balance between voices when the bass line starts playing in quarter notes somewhere around 2:40 (still one of my favorite moments in classical guitar music.)

inexistant? they may be very subtle, but I think this a purposeful move on William's part. The instruments of the baroque period were not to great at creating dynamic contrast. Maybe Williams is trying to mimic what the music would have sounded like during the baroque period?

By: SingHouse. on 07 Nov 08, 18:50:28
the problem is, I think a lot of people like to jump on the bandwagon and join in the general worshipping of John Williams. I saw him in concert in Southampton a few years and of course I thought he was fabulous. My point is, this particular performance of this music by Bach is absolutely not the best out there! While it is flawless from the execution point of view, I find the general phrasing and dynamics rather inexistant. Peace out.

By: pipeorganloverNJP. on 01 Nov 08, 10:11:14
As Virgil Fox said, most people naively believe that Bach's notes 'speak for themselves' and therefore believe the organist had rather not tried adding his own 'interpretation'. But saying this would either render the poor musicians and the connoisseurs as equals, or would mean that Bach's music wasn't being interpreted at all.

All three of the ...
By: pipeorganloverNJP. on 01 Nov 08, 10:05:35
All three of the organists you've mentioned are among my favorites. Admittedly the tempo is slower than what people would normally prefer, yes. And, forgive me if I misunderstood, but you implied that Richter used the same kind of registration all through, but actually he used a more variety of registrations than most other contemporary organists, or even the present day ones. :)

Richter was not a ...
By: organum74. on 27 Oct 08, 15:45:31
Richter was not a bad organist, but I prefer Walcha, for example, or M-C Alain, and it is not so terrible to say that the tempo is a bit too slow, I cannot imagine Bach playing so slowly on bright German organs, and Bach is not boring at all ! Old fashions of playing Bach was like that : slowly, quite same registration from biginning to end, same keyboard too, but nowdays it is different, fortunately. Sorry for my English, I am French.

Is there a higher level than 'genius'? I think that a few from humanity have attained this level - Einstein, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Euclid, a few others have attained this unnamed plane. They are intercessors to the transcendental. Bach is one of them.

This is NOT TOO ...
By: KremeDeMentia. on 17 Oct 08, 02:26:06
This is NOT TOO SLOW. If the tempo is kept the same from beginning to end (there are no written changes in tempo, by the by), then the ending variations of the theme would be far too fast. I think the genius of the repeated theme must be pondered on in the beginning- and that can't be done as well with a faster tempo. Of course it's all relative, but for God's sake, I'm right!

By: leorcc. on 16 Oct 08, 12:51:31

By: pipeorganloverNJP. on 16 Oct 08, 10:29:49
Haha. That's an utter understatement, man! 20 years old, come on, that's unearthly! Trust me, even 'gifted' would be an understatement. But this- Charles Dickens would be regarded as an equal to Bach if he'd written A Tale of Two Cities when he was 5! ^^

By: trevjr. on 14 Oct 08, 04:32:06
Slow does not equal wrong. My opinion is the piece should start like this,it builds to the climax. Stokowski plays it this way in his orchestration,which is my favorite version. But I love the sound of the organ too, and Richter plays this magnificently. Too many critics and not enough people who enjoy music.

By: walchafriend. on 06 Oct 08, 20:24:15
I don'think is possible to found a video but I listen a record dated 1959 , on great organ Schnitger of St.Laurenskerk. I want repeat what written by Karl Grebe on Walcha: Walcha himself indicated in a broadcast talk the disease which cut him off permanently from the visible word also opened up and smoothed for him the way to inner perception. However listening again this record in the final Richter play like Walcha.

Third, Look around. ...
By: pipeorganloverNJP. on 06 Oct 08, 11:04:03
Third, Look around. Is there a video of Walcha playing this piece around YouTube? This is my favorite piece, so I practically KNOW all the videos of it YouTube has. And sorry to say, Helmut Walcha's is not amongst it. So unless you post up his video you have no right to compare Richter's version with his. Karl Richter's playing was virtually immaculate. Many others here will undoubtedly agree with me. Now, I'm not saying Walcha wasn't as gifted. You should give Richter more credit, that's all.

First up, I don't ...
By: pipeorganloverNJP. on 06 Oct 08, 11:01:33
First up, I don't get your first sentence at all- It just makes no sense. Care to elucidate? Second, turn your volume up if you can't hear it. And don't blame Richter, he's not at fault; for two reasons: 1) This video's really old, so blame its antiquity, if you want, and 2) Organ keys/pedals are not touch-sensitive. Newer organs have a 'swell pedal' that amplifies sound, but this one's still too old.

Reading all mails ...
By: walchafriend. on 05 Oct 08, 11:20:15
Reading all mails nobody talk about WALCHA! Dears friends RICHTER at the beginning of the Passacglia is too slow and light,I don't hear the theme. Please if You want to listen the reference point on BACH's Passacaglia You must listen WALCHA !

Earlier I made a comment that GG was a genius of the natural order of a Mozart. I take that back. I read a book called Conversations with Gould & think that his fluidity of thought and expressions of language is equal to his playing. The man is HIMSELF and comparing him is futile since comparing as a hobby is futile. He may have been odd but eccentricity comes with genius. He hated mozart anyway & keeps harping on LVB's Son 30 to have broken barriers for him in piano playing. Interesting, huh?

Thanks trevjr. I wasn´t aware of that. Yeah I think this is from the second book. I´m completely fascinated by his startling dynamic shifts and unexpected ornaments and exstreme fluctuation in tempo. Many passages that are traditionally played legato, GG plays staccato, adn vice versa, adn where several notes are to be struck simultaneously as in a chord, he often plays them successively in a quick arpeggio. Briiiiiliiiant.

I have been playing Bach and listening to Gould for 30 years and still I am just stunned to see him play. A major Book 2 this is I think. Just perfect, I don't know another musician that I say that about. Glenn is 48 or 49 here, close to his death. this video shows him at the height of his powers. who are other people to tell someone how Bach should be played? do you know that when the WTC was released by Gould 8 at a time, they all shot up to #1 on the charts?to be this great and popular too?

I always come back to this. Gould's rendition of the Prelude is amazing, can't find any better version. He just makes it hop and dance so graciously and yet it is a serene, majestic moment... simply mind-blowing. I've actually helped "initiate" a friend who knows nothing of classical music with this video, to start explaining and "teaching" things about Bach (and exquisite, excentric pianists too :-)).

Because I am working on this piece I have gone all over and listened carefully to each one but this is the ONE that I keep returning to..this one has it all, power, gentleness, anxiety, bitterness,sweetness--it is all articulated perfectly within the strokes of his bow. Milstein just "gets" Bach.

I can't believe I'm hearing comments about Milsteins technique. He is considered to be one of the greatest technicians of all time. If anything I would have expected criticism about his musicality. But, his recording of the chaconne is definitive. One of the bests if not the best.

By: kamshi1. on 04 Oct 08, 22:49:52
@AbsoluteZ3R0: I totally agree with what you say. Only if your technique is solid and well developed, you can start to actually "play" the pieces you like. That's why the violin sounds so terrible if played inaccurately. Wrong technique, poor sound; great technique, amazing sound. Nevertheless, I personally prefer Hilary Hahn. In my opinion, she is also better than Heifetz, more emotional ;). AND: this piece has to be played more slowly. But, as said, only my opinion...

By: jin12345678. on 03 Oct 08, 01:44:51
it is true that his intonation may not be as good as Heifetz. He sounds a little sharp or flat at times, and in his chords. With Heifetz, to listen to his absolutely pitch-perfect arpeggiated chords is a bliss. But nathan milstein's bow technique and especially his articulation is phenomenal,as well as his interpretation. how amazing. a great inspiration, the violin virtuoso

By: AbsoluteZ3R0. on 28 Sep 08, 03:23:55
I'd rather hear musicality over a lot of technique as well, however, to say that there is such a thing as "too much technique" is foolish. The more technique a musician has at his disposal the more room he has for artistic and musical development. Music begins when technique ends. The reason violinists such as Milstein and Heifetz are so great/musical is because their technique is incredible.

By: xbjllb. on 27 Sep 08, 04:27:52
Revival harpsichords are FAR superior. Today's lighter guitar-like instruments have to be tuned between every song, soundboards crack much sooner, they're only good for the makers because they're easier and wear out sooner. Bach and early German harpsichords WERE built like these to last. Zuckermann was trashing his greatest competition to compete with them and almost destroyed these great German factory makers with his odious propaganda. Only snobs believe him with their $20,000+ guitarichords.

The proper term is ...
By: xbjllb. on 27 Sep 08, 04:21:45
The proper term is revival harpsichord. Based on AUTHENTIC German instruments, Zuckermann, a harpsichord maker whose number one competition was the German factory makers who made these, wrote an odious book in the 60's trashing them, claiming that they were not historically accurate. Harpsichord "snobs" have been parroting his propaganda ever since, favoring smaller lighter instruments more akin to guitars that must be tuned between every song which were FAR easier to make and wore out sooner.

By: SwamiParamananda. on 20 Sep 08, 16:06:13
I've always liked the Neupert Harpsichord very much. I couldn't disagree more regarding "authentic" instruments. They generally produce 1 or 2 timbres and become boring very quickly. I prefer an instrument with greater possibilities of variations in timbres. The authenticity fetish is overdone - Bach's music is greater than any single instrument. The 16 foot stop sounds totally appropriate in Bach's music.

I cant stand that awful legato. Even Gould, although he plays the piano, instead of harpsichord, has far far better articulation than Richter.

Nowadays nobody from serious harpsichordists would record a performance played in such archaic style, which has nothing to do with baroque style. Sorry.

In Germany instruments in this style where build by Neupert, Sassmann , Ammer, Wittmeyer and Sperrhake from the years 1930 on. They never used steel frames but heavy wooden construstions (Rastenbauweise).

By: AML2000. on 07 Aug 08, 19:12:24
Are you sure about that? From Wikipedia -- always very accurate (:-) "Such instruments, made for instance by the Pleyel firm of Paris, were heavily influenced by the modern grand piano, notably in using heavy metal frames, far sturdier than would be needed to support the tension of harpsichord strings. These instruments typically included a 16-foot stop to bolster their sound, following a (relatively unusual) practice of 18th century German builders."

My, I really trod on something, didn´t I? I never said, that Kazuhito is not fantastic. He is. I only commented on the speed in certain passages. The chaconne is as universal as Hamlets monolouge. Every musical listener can plug into it and relate to it, and for every engaged listener there is a dream of the ideal expression. We do not have to be able to play it ourselves to make it "our own",- so we form our little opinions from which discussions arise. On my own account I end this one.

By: dragmio. on 14 Oct 08, 19:33:16
As for speed, this is Bach. And Bach sounds great at every tempo and in every arrangement. That's so incredible about his work. The mid section is rushed, but it brings something out in this piece I've never heard before. And it's good. It would probably also be good if it was played largo. And another thing, there should be a reason for playing a violin piece on guitar. Perhaps on other instruments one couldn't do this "rushing". So - go, Kazuhito, go! :)

The fact is anybody could play the way he does with the right attitude. I was always told what I shouldnt do with the guitar. Dont use the right hand pinky, dont play a certain piece its too hard for you right now. Dont do this dont try that, all that conservative BS. I started out by learning Bachs 1st lust suite.

Why did he hv to rush the mid section?? Completely ruined the lovely alternating bass & treble melodies there.He has also rushed & ruined the 'tremelo' section. why i prefer the guitar version over the violin & more so the piano is cos you get to hear most clearly the seperation & articulation of the individual notes. The best guitar & violin renditions ive heard on cd & here hv their 1st part at slightly under or over 7 mins. This guy played it at slightly over 6 & muddied everything up.

No need for the circus act. But putting that aside. The sounds coming out of the guitar are quite amazing. He just needed to be less of a show off. Artist like him don't need that. He shows people what he can do, that's enough. Everyone was like, wow, when he started playing.

By: jazzpsalti. on 14 May 08, 09:45:57
this and the previous comment are in response to zach's comment: with respect to music in general, it is just like learning another language. When one first learns to read Latin or Greek one sounds out the letters, and phonetically learns to pronounce them. Then entire words are a breeze and the sentence itself becomes the conundrum. Finally entire phrases are simple to comprehend, and that to me is also how musical appreciation and general music understanding also operates.

By: jazzpsalti. on 14 May 08, 09:44:08
well musical appreciation to the musician seems to evolve similarly as well. Of course, at this hour there's an alcoholic element to this comment, but when I play jazz, sure I might have the chord progression strictly running through my head, but rather than realize this as strict musically, I allow the harmonies to kind of "blend" with each other. The late Bill Evans trio (see youtube: days of wine and roses with marc johnson) shows this with regards to jazz.

By: zacharron. on 14 May 08, 07:33:34
Well said Andrew. I think some players (even Joe Satriani) have said that when they play those long, fast lines that the individual notes aren't the point, but rather the form and shape of the 'waves' of notes are what is meant to be heard. I know when I listen to Bach his lines (and music) turn my ear and shape my imagination like no other music I've heard.

By: 3cplantin. on 31 Oct 08, 13:51:02
Percussion can be like salt. You get used to it and miss out on the subtleties of your food. Music, especially Bach, is very rich and doesn't always need salt. Percussion used purposefully by composers is of course a different story -- it's part of the fabric. Even Bach used percussion to great effect, but it's really a hindrance to add it where it doesn't belong. But I share your enthusiasm for smalin's work -- and for Bach!

When I began organ lessons in college (I had studied the piano, was a Bach fan, was writing fugues), I told the instructor I wanted to learn the organ so that I could play the Bach trio sonatas. He laughed and said, "you've picked some of the hardest organ music ever written." I don't know whether I agree, but I doubt Bach thought these pieces were easy.

By: MarkBrennan. on 03 Aug 08, 10:27:41

It would be nice just for once to be able to listen to some beautiful music without having to read the graffiti of some late-comer who's just discovered classical music and thinks it's not possible to enjoy it without slandering young people and modern culture. Young people in general do not and never have listened to Bach (including when he was composing in the 18th century) and yet he's still as popular as ever. So just enjoy the music and stop pontificating.

Just where the hell did you get the idea that I was COMPARING Bach to those "artists"?!! I was saying that those "artists" (as you call them) have taken over today's youth so completely that they simply don't want to listen to anything else - eapecially classical music, and I fear that this trend will continue and Bach and other greats will be forgotten, or at least become even less popular, and that CANNOT happen. No comparisons, no talking about 18th century youth... get it now?

By: papaguy81. on 17 Oct 08, 18:48:33
It's slightly unfair comparing one of the greatest composers in history with three crappy modern artists. There were bad musicians in Bach's time as well, we just don't here about them any more. And I seriously doubt that the youth in the 18th century were listening to this kind of thing in any case. Popular music in those days was all folk. Yuck.

The tempo here is just perfect.
